The story
Laiye was founded as an RPA and intelligent document processing company headquartered in Beijing. Over time it expanded its platform to include AI-driven digital workers and agentic automation capabilities. By 2026 the company repositioned its core platform around 'agentic' AI agents (Agentic Process Automation, Agentic Document Processing), reflecting the broader market shift from rule-based RPA toward LLM-powered autonomous workflows. Laiye's embedded finance footprint is minimal — it is primarily a B2B enterprise SaaS automation vendor, not a financial services platform.
